Paul Cohen joins us this week to discuss the physical and mental edge that goaltenders need in order to compete in the crease. He gives valuable insight to the position as we discuss how coaches can incorporate goalies more in practice, and thoughts on our favorite debate - should the goal size be adaptive depending on age?

Paul is a former AHL (Champion), ECHL & Div. 1 NCAA goaltender whom today is the head coach of the Puerto Rican Men’s National Team, and is the owner of Ultimate Hockey Fans.
